the item that they did not like to touch and how they felt when they touched it.

sharp?

down and hurt myself? When my mother scolds me? When I see a person I do not know / stranger? When I
am asked to sing a song in front of everyone? When I cannot find my parents in the market? When I do
something that mummy asked me not to do?

preference
